Emanuel Pogatetz flew to London yesterday before a proposed move on loan to
West Ham United. The defender appears regularly for Austria, but has played
only eight times for Wolfsburg this season. The 30-year-old moved to
Middlesbrough in 2005 to compete with Franck Queudrue for a starting place,
and can also play at centre back. He moved from Hanover to Wolfsburg last
summer and has been tracked by Fulham this month. West Ham want defensive
cover and should Pogatetz compete a move, Alou Diarra could leave the club.
